Mr Dundas and his wife prepare to move into the Kintbury vicarage, and the urgent question of Isabella’s future continues to occupy Cassandra.

The odious Mr Dundas and his wife prepare to move into the Kintbury vicarage, and the urgent question of Isabella’s future continues to occupy Cassandra as she learns the truth about Isabella and Lidderdale’s past. Dinah makes a reckless decision. The letters reveal her sister’s struggle to keep writing, as the family’s fortunes – and Jane’s mental and physical health – went into an alarming decline. Amid these very private recollections, young Cassandra’s own letters tell a heartbreaking story of just how much she sacrificed to support her sister.
